"Coming out on the tail of a self-released 7-inch ("Boyfriend Hole/Mother"), cassette (Night People) and early 2010 highlight WHET LP (Night People/Radio is Down), BROKEN WATERs FDR debut 7-inch finds the band further refining their distinctive northwestern squall. A-side "Normal Never Happened" kicks off with a throbbing riff, before morphing into a hazy, spacey dream-pop zone topped with layered vocals. The B side, "Faux King Vogue" continues their exploration of the dark, noisy guitar work thats been a hallmark of Pacific NW bands since the days of Unwound, Lync, and Kicking Giant. Covers are letterpressed with unique paint splatters." - Fan Death

"This is the debut LP by Olympia Washington three-piece BROKEN WATER. Consisting of former SISTERS (Parts Unknown Records) and CELEBRATION members, Broken Waters sound seems to resound in the rainy coastal woodlands that they are surrounded by. Dense walls of slow swirling distortion breath out into moments of cold syrupy magma and reverb drenched beauty. Droning post punk bass grooves build foundations for constantly evolving guitar riffing and somber vocal passages, a subtle psychedelic sound as heavy as it is lite, as dark as it is colorful, and as deep as it is wide. Broken Waters dreamy take on hazy pastoral sonic exploration is as unique as it is nostalgic and provides endless amounts of killer listening. Silkscreened artwork by SHAWN REED." - Night People.
